Retro - mood... and thoughts

 One can say that retro and vintage are always in trend. What is the difference between them, after all?
There's one rule: vintage is 50 and more years old, so it covers 50th and 60th of the previous century. Then retro comes onstge.
Stylists advice: if you desire to look retro, its better to quote not your personal youth decade, but take one decade earlier. You won't look old-fashioned in that case.
On the left photo - Julia demonstrates my dress and small jacket with retro features -  it is double-breasted, with round buttoned lapels and puffy short sleeves.

And two photos of my red satin dress for beautiful Tatiana on her Vintage party - reasonably bouffant skirt (just a couple of petticoats of soft tulle), white bow on the back, small button on the neck.
I think that the main facet of any Vintage look - is personal fitting of the dress, especially top. It covers the forms of your and only your figure, and it matches your individuality. A sign of custom-sewing.
